  • Split Rail Drive Extended at Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site

    Split Rails help Define the Space! Over the past year, we have been making real progress on our Split Rail Drive! We are almost half way there! Please help! The fences were terrible obstacles that the soldiers had to overcome as they advanced across the landscape at Perryville. Our mission is to help return the park’s landscape, especially along the Dixville Crossroads, back to its appearance at the time of the battle, as well as, define those spaces where men struggled and died for our nation.

    You can help by purchasing a split rail. The rails we are purchasing are from the West Virginia Split Rail Company at $8.50 per rail. This includes the shipping!
    If you wish to help in this effort, please send your donation of $8.50 per rail to:
    Friends of Perryville Battlefield
    P.O. Box 296
    Perryville, KY 40468

    SPOILER ALERT: This fence project will play a huge role in the big event coming up in 2016!

    Thanks!
